Interiors: Minimalist interior design by Joseph Dirand. The New York Times takes us inside the French architect's stunning Paris apartment. Seen here is his small kitchen - copper accents, unique marble and herringbone/chevron floors.

The long island is unique and I like it; walls not cluttered with a lot of cabinets. Simple, warm colors, open space, feels like a place where I can cook and sit if I wanted, but very practical and stylish also
